Hiring an effective sales professional can be an onerous process, but bear in mind its purpose: to provide ample opportunity for those “Marginal Sales Candidates” to show themselves prior to you hiring them.
A Marginal Sales Candidate can cost your business up to $790,000:
- $60k to $90k in salary and costs before you end up letting them go and starting the hiring process over
- $700k average in lost sales opportunities over the 9-12 months you keep that poor performer
We’ve created the SALESWORKS Guide to Hiring Sales Professionals to save you those costs as well as the wasted time and effort spent hiring and firing Marginal Sales Candidates.
